What was Baba's method of instruction and how did it benefit His devotees?

Baba's method of instruction was not secretive but was rather tailored to the individual's needs and worthiness, showing them the true path without creating intellectual conflict. Chapter 18 provides a beautiful analogy, comparing Baba's method to a mother who affectionately holds her child's chin to make them drink medicine for their own health. This illustrates a compassionate yet firm approach to ensure the devotee's spiritual well-being. The Guru is also likened to monsoon rain clouds that shower the water of self-bliss with love. This approach fulfills the desires of devotees, as the company of the Sadguru brings overflowing inner inspiration when their sayings are remembered.
